Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs

It's summer, and it's just too hot to use the oven in my house, so I'm going to try out a lot of grilling recipes. I have tendency to burn everything on the grill, so I am learning to make sure the grill is clean to avoid things catching fire making it too hot and to avoid food sticking to the grill, and cook on lower heats.

This recipe for Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs is less sweet than it appears. It would probably be more sweet if you omit the Sesame Seed Oil, but my husband hates sweet. The kids favorite part is the chicken and pineapple.

Here's the recipe. It wasn't too bad to make, but I would hardly call it a lazy dinner. It was a little more overachieving than what I'm used to.

Ingredients

4 Boneless Chicken Breasts (cut into 1 - 1.5 inch chunks)
1 Large Can of Pineapple Chunks
5 TBSP Orange Marmalade
1/3 c. Brown Sugar
1/3 c. Sugar
1 tsp. Sesame Seed Oil
1/2 tsp. Ginger
1/2 tsp. Garlic Salt
16-18 Skewers (if wooden, soak in water for 20 minutes)
1 Purple Onion
2 Red Bell Peppers

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the canned pineapple (with juice), orange marmalade, brown sugar, sugar, sesame seed oil, ginger, and garlic salt.
Cut the chicken into 1 to 1.5 inch chunks, and place in bowl. Refrigerate for a few hours if you want.
Cut Onion and Red Pepper: divide in half, cut two ways horizontal and two ways vertical
